Sad, another case of police officers killed by thugs.

It is. it makes me sick to my stomach.
I listed these links, because I'm reading conflicting reports. Is it 2 or 3 suspect/ cop killers in custody?
Are 2 of them brothers? MAIN details, of the case, that the media, who is always in such a rush.. can not seem to get straight.

If you,or anyone, has any information, please post it. Thanks

I think I read there were two male brothers and a female involved.
we'll have to wait I guess. Not much info now.

God forbid, the public know the truth about anything. I just do NOT understand the mind set " NOT calling a spade a spade " or people NOT demanding the truth, no matter how horrible.
As individuals or a society, the only way to survive & progress is to change our behavior.
But first we have to admit our faults & crimes.
Consequences for everyone, for all crimes & dysfunctional behavior.

"" HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Two police officers
were shot and killed during a traffic stop,
and three suspects were arrested hours
later, authorities said Sunday.
Two of the suspects were charged Sunday
with capital murder in the death of officers
Benjamin Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 25.
Warren Strain, a spokesman for the
Mississippi Department of Public Safety,
said Marvin Banks, 29, and Joanie
Calloway, 22, were each charged with two
counts of capital murder. Banks was also
charged with one count of being a felon in
possession of a firearm. He was also
charged with grand theft for fleeing in the
police cruiser after the shooting, Strain
said.
"He absconded with a Hattiesburg police
cruiser. He didn't get very far, three or
four blocks and then he ditched that
vehicle," Strain said.
Banks' brother, Curtis Banks, 26, was
charged with two counts of accessory
after the fact of capital murder.
Lamar County authorities arrested Marvin
Banks at a motel shortly before 1 a.m.
Sunday. Curtis Banks was arrested around
3 a.m. at an apartment complex.
"No sir, I didn't do it," Curtis Banks told
reporters gathered at the State Police
barracks when Banks was brought in.
Strain said one officer stopped a 2000
Gold Cadillac Escalade in an industrial
corridor about 8:30 p.m. Saturday. A
second officer arrived as backup.
Hattiesburg residents Tamika Mills and
Pearnell Roberts drove past the scene of
the shooting, discovered the two officers
and called 911.
"Never in my life have I experienced or
seen anything like this except on TV. And
to be in the midst of it, it's shocking and
heartbreaking," Mills said. "As we were
coming down Fourth Street, we noticed a
bunch of lights. As we came on through,
(Roberts) told me to turn around because
she saw somebody laying on the ground.
"So I backed up. That's when we noticed
the officer was down. We just saw that
one, but in the course of me being on the
phone with 911, I turned and I saw
another officer across the street rolling on
the ground. (Roberts) ran across the
street to check on him. He wasn't all the
way alert but he asked her, 'Am I dying? I
know I'm dying. Just hand me my walkie-
talkie.' "
It marked the first time a Hattiesburg
police officer had been killed in the line of
duty since New Year's Eve in 1984.
Tate, 25, was a recent graduate from the
police academy. He posted on his
Facebook page that he graduated June
11.
Tate graduated South Pike High School
and attended Southwest Mississippi
Community College before joining the
Hattiesburg Police Department.
Deen, 34, was a K-9 officer. He was
named HPD Officer of the Year in 2012.
"People who believe in prayer, who believe
in the power of prayer, I'd ask them to
pray for the family members," Mayor
Johnny DuPree said.""

We don't have a police problem, we have a criminal thug problem.

Thanks for this ^^™™ RebelArcher

I do believe, Mississippi is still a death penalty state.

I think it is more than a " thug" problem.Thugs always existed.

Back in the day... people were accountable for their actions .. to the community & the courts & their families. No excuses, like we have now.


Anyone have Stats on "Police killed in the line of duty " ? How much is it in the rise, in the past 3 years?

Let's hope so.
Maybe there should be express lanes like we have here.

These were good men.

Alberta Harris heads the Briarfield Neighborhood Association next to where the shooting occurred. She said she knew both Officers Benjamin Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 25, personally. She said, "Both of them had a humble spirit. They cared about the people that they were serving and protecting."

She said at a time when there is a huge focus on the use of force by police officers, incidents like this show the strain police officers are under. "This shows what our police officers have to endure, just on a routine traffic stop."

A Subway sandwich shop worker sparked outrage on Twitter with her social media posts celebrating Saturday's killing of two Mississippi cops,and now she's been fired.

This behavior is unacceptable & does not represent our brand's values & ethics, Subway tweeted Sunday night, in response to the backlash. The franchise has terminated the employee.

Sierra C-Babi McCurdy, of Laurel, MS ultimately lost her job because she praised the cold-blooded murders of Hattiesburg cops Benjamin Deen,34, and Liquori Tate, 25, after they were gunned down in the line of duty during a routine traffic stop Saturday night.

2 police officers was shot in hattiesburg tonight�GOT EM, the Subway employee acclaimed on Facebook. We can turn this bxtch into Baltimore real quick�.Police take away innocent people lives everyday now & get away w/ it, fxck them�no mercy.

Callous POS!

Police work is a risky job world over. Bad guys hate them that much but when those bad elements are in trouble, its same police they will expect to come to their aid. Sad

Your right eche,

And its also the people who bash cops (in general) that crack me up for they too most likely dialed 911 at some point in their lives... and a total stranger came to help them. Not their friends.. or their web buddy.. a cop came

There are bad ones, no doubt. And they need to be weeded out and dealt with(like anyone else would be). But in my opinion, they are the exception.. not the rule

A badge is, and always has been,
a target.

Law enforcement, has never been
a safe job.

The murderers of cops,
should be summarily executed
immediately after trial.


And...
Props to Subway,
for firing that dumb heifer.

Anyone want to guess the outcome of the Subway "Got 'em" girl?

Think she even bothered to find out one of the fallen officers was black or do blacks really not care about killing their own..... only if other races do.
